      Comments about Exotac PolyStriker Firestarter:

      Just picked this up as a small, lightweight ferro rod. I keep it in my knife sheath.

      Tried it out this weekend in a few inches of snow in PA. Lit a tinder bundle of (mostly) dry grass and birch bark on one strike.

      The design is great. The striking steel nests into the handle of the rod, so it's super compact.
